The children of Year 1P were extremely lucky to have Sally Gray from Real Heathy kids come in and run a heathy food work shop for the children today.
We loved learning about good fats and all the elements that make up our body. Sally taught us about real foods and fake foods and how it is important to give our body real food so it can grow and best the best person we can be!
The children were involved in making delicious Eggy Wraps and Apricot Bliss Balls. These were absolutely delicious (I had to have a taste) and the children loved learning about food in a fun and hands on way!
The Real Heathly Kids workshop also integrated into our English program of writing procedures!
Some pictures of the children making their healthy food!
The core elements of the Real Heathy Kids workshop:
1. Real Food is the ONLY food that can truly provide the body with what it needs
2. Fake (factory) Foods WILL harm if not in the short term then in the long term the best they can offer is as a filler in the tummy taking valuable space for the foods our kids need to ensure their optimal health, growth and development
3. It if grows and you can make it in the kitchen then eat it!
4. If it can ONLY be made in a factory then find better alternatives
5. Emotional wellbeing is key!
The recipes we enjoyed today were:
Eggy Wraps: organic free range eggs and sea salt cooked in butter to make a thin pancake to use as a wrap.
